Professor Peter Rossky recipient of the American Chemical Society Physical Division Award in Theoretical Chemistry

Peter Rossky, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, is the first recipient of the American Chemical Society Physical Division Award in Theoretical Chemistry for his outstanding contributions to physical chemistry. Rossky will be invited to present a plenary lecture at the Telluride School on Theoretical Chemistry during the summer, where he will receive the award. The Telluride Science Research Center, located in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, is dedicated to providing workshop and conference services for scientists around the world to inspire substantive scientific inquiry, breakthroughs, and discoveries.
